[PATCH 02/23] dwarf: add DW_AT_data_location support


An object might have a descriptor proceeding the actual value.
To point the debugger to the actually value of an object
DW_AT_data_location is used for. For example the compile may
emit for this entity:

  1| int foo[N];

the following descriptor:

struct array {
  size_t size;
  void*  data; // DW_AT_data_location describes this location
}

This allows GDB to print the actual data of an type.

            Keven Boell  <keven.boell@intel.com>

	* dwarf2read.c (set_die_type): Parse and save DW_AT_data_location
	attribute.
	* gdbtypes.c (is_dynamic_type): Consider a type being dynamic if
	the data location has not yet been resolved.
	(resolve_dynamic_type): Evaluate data location baton
	if present and save its value.
	* gdbtypes.h <main_type>: Add data_location.
	(TYPE_DATA_LOCATION): New macro.
	(TYPE_DATA_LOCATION_ADDR): New macro.
	(TYPE_DATA_LOCATION_IS_ADDRESS): New macro.
	* value.c: Include dwarf2loc.h.
	(value_fetch_lazy): Use data location addres to read value from
	memory.
	(coerce_ref): Construct new value from data location.
